iOS 27.2 beta 1 introduces user profiles for the Apple TV app on iPhone, a feature previously available only on tvOS. The profiles support age-appropriate content filtering for child accounts and can be disabled if unused, addressing a long-standing gap in Apple's streaming platform.
tvOS 27 is now available for Apple TV 4K with revamped Podcasts and Apple Music apps, software updates via iPhone, custom text sizes, and improved performance. The update notably excludes new Siri AI and smart downloads features.
